This album really isn't all that people. The following songs from her last album are better than ALL the songs on this new piece of material:

LOVE FANTASTIC
LUCKY*STAR
CHUxCHU
Mawari Mawaru Mawareba Mawaro
Lai Lai
9

Lai Lai is everything.

Almost all the tracks on the new album sound as if their melodies are interchangeable. And the melodies for most of the choruses are way too repetitive. It's like the same notes repeated - no progression. The melody is like a bar long. Some of the songs are enough to drive you mad.

Dislike summer lovely days a lot, but seriously loathe affair. That song is RANCID. I'm like "what the FUCK is going on here? What is she trying to accomplish with this horrid beast?" It's so utterly disorganized. Sounds like it would be right up Namie's alley though. Just a bunch of crap noise without a proper chord progression to really highlight any hint of a melody.

My favs were:
busy lady

That's it. I gave it 4 stars.

reach for the moon I gave 3. Time Machine, laugh, I'm lonely, and shooting star I gave 2. The rest I gave none cause I'll probably never listen to again.
